The Buena Vida Architectural Review Committee (ARC) consists of homeowners appointed by the Board of Directors. It is the responsibility of the ARC to make sure that homeowners who wish to make changes to the outside of their home or elsewhere on their property comply with the rules that have been established and approved by the board.

The ARC meets every 2nd and 4th Monday of each month (except holidays) and the meetings are open to all homeowners in accordance with Florida Law.

In cooperation with Castle Management employees, the ARC receives, reviews, and approves requests from homeowners.

Violations:

In the event you witness violations to the current Rules and Regulations / Governing Documents, please advise the Association in writing. Forms are available at the Club Desk and main office specifically for this purpose.
